D.C. Stadium for Redskins May Hinge on Name Change

Unless the Washington Redskins get a name change, the team will struggle to get approval from the Obama administration for the construction of a new stadium in Washington, D.C.

Kennedy Memorial Stadium, where the team played before moving to FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The stadium is located about two miles east of the Capitol and on land owned by the National Park Service (NPS) and leased by the city. The city's lease expires in 22 years and would need to be renewed before a new stadium is built, an action that would need approval from Congress.
